(Mobil 1 guy here. It seems to have a great rep on metal against metal in a high heat environment. A can most likely could last a a decade if only used in firearms that are shot a lot. Even the Walmart generic seems to work well.)

Rare to ever read about going inside to clean things up. Cold to hot to condensation, to perhaps no lubrication after years and years. Yet the insides are most likely never looked at by the vast majority. The insides are the parts that starts or stops the bang.

This--but where you shoot and hunt also makes a difference. I live in Montana, but also hunt other states, mostly western. There's far more dust in the air out here, especially early in the season, than there is in places like the UP of Michigan or Southern quail seasons. Or ptarmigan seasons anywhere....
